Synopsis: Not since Lassie has there been a canine hero as lovable as Only-the lonely dog. Only has a curiosity that leads him to exciting and dangerous adventures, filled with happiness and sorrow, and through it all the elusive prospect of romance with a beautiful female named Blossom. Called Only because he is the lone survivor of a litter of sheepdogs who are accidentally poisoned, he is raised by a young couple and shares their trials and triumphs, at home and at sea. Secretly, though, Only yearns for the world beyond his yard and his leashed walks. One day his opportunity comes and he sets out on an adventurous odyssey across the countryside in search of his beloved Blossom.
